I had the pleasure of being invited to pilot a "debate" segment of The Take podcast for the first episode of the show in 2020. I was asked to defend the virtue of Dunkirk against 1917.

it's all more than a little cheeky and a bit glib, but I do mean most of what I say here:

As always, enjoy listening / let me know if you think I said something unspeakably wrong.

Ouch! You just destroyed the guy.

1917 is so generic. I don't like the 'take out-argument' myself but... take out this whole 'one shot' gimmick from the movie and what've you got?

Dunkirk will last.
(1917 if so it's because of the WWI theme.)

I really want Nolan to venture into WWI territory. I honestly don't see him tackling WWII again anytime soon.
I love his IMAX/practical approach so much and while Mendes and Deakins opted for a lot of in-camera, there are a lot of things Nolan would never have done like them. Which is fine and they're such different directors that that's a good thing of course but imo there simply aren't enough big budget WWI films, at least not modern ones.

Can we love the film again? Insted of repeating "Oh my god, it doesn't deserve any award, it's just emotionless gimmick" all day?
